Last Updated: June 18, 2026

99¢ VPN ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website 99centvpn.com (the "Site") and use our VPN service (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account or make a purchase, we collect:

• Email address
• First and last name (optional)
• Password (hashed — we never store plaintext passwords)

Payment Information

We do not store your full credit card, debit card, or bank account details. Payments are processed securely by our third-party payment partners:

• Stripe — Stripe Privacy Policy
• PayPal — PayPal Privacy Policy

We receive a payment confirmation, subscription status, and a customer ID from these providers. We do not see or store your full payment method details.

VPN Usage — Strict No-Log Policy

We do not log or store:

• Your originating IP address
• Websites you visit or services you access while connected to our VPN
• DNS queries made through our service
• Content of your internet traffic
• Timestamps or duration of VPN sessions
• Bandwidth or data transfer volume

We only track how many active clients are on each server to ensure service quality. This count is anonymous and not linked to specific users.

Website Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics collects anonymized information such as:

• Pages visited
• Time spent on pages
• Browser type and operating system
• Approximate geographic location (city/country level)

No personally identifiable information is collected by Google Analytics on our behalf. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Process payments and manage subscriptions
• Send transactional emails (welcome, billing, service updates)
• Respond to support requests
• Monitor and improve service performance and uptime
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Cookies

Our Site uses cookies for essential functionality, including:

• Authentication sessions (keeping you logged into your dashboard)
• Security (CSRF protection)
• Cloudflare content delivery and security
• Google Analytics tracking (with anonymized IP addresses)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect Site functionality.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With payment processors and email providers solely as needed to operate the Service.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation. In jurisdictions where we operate, we will challenge any request we believe to be overbroad or unlawful.
• Business Transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Security

• Passwords are hashed using bcrypt — never stored in plaintext
• All Site traffic is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS

• VPN private keys are encrypted at rest using AES-128-CBC via Fernet
• Database access is restricted and credentials are managed via DigitalOcean's secure infrastructure

• Your WireGuard configurations are immediately revoked and deleted within 30 days
